Top 10 ways to travel in nicaragua

No 1. Family bicycle. This invovles señor pedro peddling, señorita pipita sat across the cross bar, and baby pepe sat on the handlebars.




No 2. The internationally approved minibus. To be seen all over the world. the samll 14 seat toyota minibus. 24 people and a few empty crates in the last one i was in. I´d love to know the most any of you have seen in one of these contraptions.




No 3. The intercity coach. Worth a mention for the tradesman who come on the coach at each stop. I did expect to be offered a bit of bread or a cold drink. I was perhaps expecting a young man to make a sales pitch from a box of midicines, something for every ailment. I certainly wasn´t expecting a preacher man to give us 20 mins of bible exposition, and then start selling pens. You see all of our professions can find a role on a single coach journey!




No. 4. The good old fashioned oxen and cart



these lads have lost there cart and are being taken home by roberto on his bicycle (he´ll then be picking up roberta and baby robertina to go out somewhere)


No 5. Not even sure what this is called?
